NBA Store (part of the Adidas Store, at #59)

American professional basketball is hugely popular in Istanbul. This is the first NBA store to open anywhere outside the US. In 2000, Hidayet “Hido (hee-doh)” Türkoğlu became the first Turkish-born player in NBA history. Following Türkoğlu’s footsteps, Mehmet Okur played for the 2004 NBA champion Detroit Pistons and became the first Turk to play in an All-Star game (other Turkish NBA stars include Ersan İlyasova and Cenk Akyol). In 2006, the NBA began actively promoting the sport in Europe, including Italy, Spain, Britain...and Turkey. Turks have a hunch that the NBA could expand its league to Europe in the future.
